“Official” support for Windows was discontinued, see [Looking for community support for the Windows build](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/looking-for-community-support-for-the-windows-build/2531) for the explanation and discussion. Fixing the downloads page to not list Windows for recent releases is on @ammolitor’s todo list, but he’s previously commented that there’s higher priority items for him to tackle first. I didn’t see an issue specifically tracking this work, so I filed [Officially discontinue the Windows build · Issue #5135 · apple/foundationdb · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/issues/5135).

There were a few changes done to enable FDB to work under the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which was reported as working [FoundationDB does not run on Windows Subsystem For Linux (WSL) - #10 by KrzysFR](https://forums.foundationdb.org/t/foundationdb-does-not-run-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl/809/10).
